The government’s Car Allowance Rebate System (more popularly known as “Cash for Clunkers”) offers cash rebates to encourage owners of older, less fuel-efficient cars to upgrade to more modern, energy-friendly models.

Some general guidelines:

– If you own a car made in 1984 or later that gets 18 miles to the gallon or less, you can qualify.

– It must have been registered and insured over the past year, and it must start.

– If you trade it for a car that gets four more miles per gallon, the government gives you $3,500.

– If your new car gets 10 miles more per gallon, you get $4,500.

– If you’re trading an SUV, minivan or small pickup, you only have to improve your mileage by 2 to 5 miles per gallon.

– The vehicle you buy must be brand new and cost less than $45,000.
